Spring Weekend

I can't believe March is almost over, where does the time go? Well, we stay busy for the most part, so I guess that is why it goes by a little faster than we would like. On Saturday Avery enjoyed the neighborhood Easter Egg hunt. It was quite cold, but it didn't seem to bother her. After the hunt, she rode a pony and went to the petting zoo. She could have written a camel, but she told me it was too high to ride.

After the Easter Egg hunt we headed to Brenham to spend some time with Meme and Papa. Avery, Meme and I walked around downtown looking at the decorated Easter Eggs, there were some really cute ones.

Today Avery took pictures in the Bluebonnets. She had some professional pictures taken which I can't wait to see and I snapped a few of my own.

Hope everyone was able to do something outside this weekend as the weather was great!!! It won't be long and it will be 90 degrees.

Golf Course

Avery had her first trip to the golf course to hit balls with the clubs daddy bought her recently. The clubs are a little big for her right now, so she pretty well stuck to her putter that daddy "custom" fit for her. Her first stop was the driving range where she used her putter to hit balls off of tees. We didn't stay on the range very long because she wanted to hit balls into the hole. Daddy then took us to a chipping area where she could hit balls in the hole. She would put the ball 2 feet from the hole and then hit it and it would go 5 feet past. This didn't last long either. She hit balls around in the sand for a while and then was ready to go. I have a feeling this was her first of many trips to the golf course to hit balls.

Happy Valentine's Day

Merry Christmas

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. Avery enjoyed all of her presents and this was the first year Santa came to her house, the last few years Santa came to PaPa and MeMe's. Being Santa came to Avery's house we had to do lots of running around. We went to the Christmas Eve service with Mom and Dad on Wednesday evening and then went out to Robert and Deborah's for the Hodde Christmas. We then came back to Humble, got home around 12:30 a.m. Santa came to the house and by 9:30 a.m. Christmas morning we were on the road to Brenham again for Borchardt and Schulz Christmas. Thank goodness it isn't too far away.

Putting Reindeer food in the yard, so the Santa knew he had to stop at Avery's house.

Avery is not a morning person, but you would think Christmas morning would be different, not for Avery she saw all the presents Santa had left her and then goes and laying on the couch.

When Avery sat on Santa's lap she told him she wanted a baby doll. Well, a week before Christmas she changed her mind saying she wanted a race car. After seeing the four wheeler she again asked for a race car and we asked if the four wheeler was ok and she said yes. Thank goodness.

Look what else Santa brought.

Enjoying her four wheeler. She needs lots of practice.

Christmas Cookies

We baked Christmas cookies yesterday, we did this for the first time last year. It went smoother this year, however we still had a huge mess. Avery enjoyed decorating the cookies. She really liked using the pink sprinkles, can you tell?

Our Medalist

Avery had her last gymnastics class on Wednesday and at the end of the class she was presented a medal. She was not too sure about having all the attention on her when she was getting her medal.

Hula Hooping

Testing her balance

Do I really have to do this.

I got a medal like Michael Phelps

Let It Snow, Let It Snow

I was in a meeting at work around 4 and all of a sudden everyone outside of the conference room was saying it's snowing outside. We all ran out of our meeting to the window like we have never seen it before. I guess it is because it doesn't happen very often in our area. By the time we got home it was dark, but I did get a few pictures of Avery in it. I am hoping the ground will be white in the morning and I can take a few more. It will probably be 70 degrees Christmas Day.

Look at me, I can catch snow on my tongue.

My slide has snow on it. BRRRRR

Is that snow I am catching?
